Hunter Cervenka

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Hunter Cervenka was called up from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Cervenka came up when Tom Koehler was sent down. He'll pitch in middle relief and have no real fantasy value.

Miami Marlins lefty reliever Hunter Cervenka was sent down to Triple-A New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact

Cervenka was acquired last season from the Atlanta Braves and spent some time in the Marlins bullpen, but he'll start this season in New Orleans as a Baby Cake. The Marlins likely won't carry a lefty reliever on Opening Day, meaning Cervenka could be up as soon as the Marlins realize how important a lefty specialist can be.

Miami Marlins reliever Hunter Cervenka got a quick out on the only batter he faced on Monday, retiring his guy on two pitches.

Fantasy Impact

Cervenka is best suited as a lefty specialist instead of a full inning reliever, and he has done well when put in a situation to succeed by manager Don Mattingly.

Miami Marlins reliever Hunter Cervenka posted a perfect eighth inning on Saturday, striking out one.

Fantasy Impact

It was a nice bounce back outing for Cervenka, who has had a few tough ones of late. He'll continue his role in middle relief.

Miami Marlins reliever Hunter Cervenka faced one batter on Tuesday and walked him on five pitches.

Fantasy Impact

It was an absolute waste of time, as Cervenka barely even came close to the plate with his five pitches, watched the runner go to first, and took a walk back into the dugout. He does not have MLB-quality control at this point and may be fighting to stay out of the minor leagues next season.
